With Shyheim Battle headed to the NFL Draft, there is a starting Cornerback position open in NC State’s defense.
Sophomore Brandon Cisse believes competition brings out the best in everyone, and he recognizes it’s his time to step up.
“This year I have a lot more confidence. I trust my skillset a lot more. Stepping into a bigger role. Competing for the starting job,” said Cisse. “Everyday knowing my talent. This year, the biggest step is football IQ, knowing everyone’s job, and not just mine. I think that’s the biggest strength of my game.”
Earlier this week, Wolfpack Defensive Coordinator Tony Gibson said there is competition for starting roles all across the NC State defense, and one of those spots is at Cornerback across from Aydan White.
